Colts training camp: Top storyline of the week

The Indianapolis Colts enter the final week of training camp leading up to their second preseason game of the year where they host the Baltimore Ravens at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The Aug. 20 matchup, which will follow a weekend full of joint practices with the Ravens, will air on ESPN’s Monday Night Football at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Before that, let’s take a look at the training camp storyline, which included the preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks:

Andrew Luck leads two scoring drives in return

Luck returned to game action against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 of the preseason for the first time since undergoing surgery on his throwing shoulder in January 2017.

Head coach Frank Reich had Luck play the first two drives of the game, which led into the second quarter. The 28-year-old QB attempted nine passes through the first two drives, completing six of them for 64 yards.

There was certainly some rust to Luck’s game in his return, but there was plenty more encouragement to be taken from his first outing back.

The Colts are expected to extend Luck’s playing time even more in the second preseason game against the Ravens where they hope to open the offense up a bit more with the first team.

Rookie to watch

Though he’s yet to make some noise, wide receiver and fifth-round pick Reece Fountain should see some opportunities to make an impact on the depth chart and in the offense after it was revealed that fellow rookie Deon Cain suffered a torn ACL in the preseason opener.

Fountain played 52 games over four seasons at the University of Northern Iowa. He recorded 66 receptions for 943 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns in 2017.
